CX-4 10 Gigabit Ethernet & InfiniBand Cables
CX-4 cables are assembled with premium Madison 8 pair, 100
ohm cable, and are available in lengths up to 15 meters. Standard connector
type is the "pull" ejector style latch used for InfiniBand SFF-8470, but
configurations with side squeeze latches or thumbscrews are also available.
CX-4 High Performance Cable Assemblies are part of the 10Gb Ethernet standard
and they provide superior signal fidelity over long distances using the
smallest, most flexible cable. The assemblies are engineered to be compliant
with the IEEE Draft P802.3ak/D5.3 specification.
Cable assemblies for CX-4 are tested to a higher standard than are
InfiniBand cables. Therefore, CX-4 cables are backwards compatible to
InfiniBand, but InfiniBand cables do not necessarily meet CX-4 test
standards.
